I think the how you interpret the upside down hanged man is very 
applicable. Don't you think this applies to Harry?  He really needs 
to learn how to down shift and think things through.....

The hidden and obscure represented by the High Priestess,IMHO, would 
apply to Harry searching for the remaining horcrocks (the-thing-whose 
name-we-hate)  You are a clever boy, Kneasy!
